Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the removal of the appellant from service based on charges of sexual harassment and misuse of power, as established under the principles set forth in Vishaka Vs. State of Rajasthan (1997). The Court emphasized that the governing body of the college had validly reinstated the appellant but later, the High Court correctly restored the removal order due to the gravity of the charges. The Court dismissed the appeals, affirming the High Court's decision and the validity of the removal order under the applicable service laws.
